Sharp TM-150

After a month, my review, camera great, software not

Camera is great, that's it. How do you get the annoying ring tones from goin off on every pic? I'm going to unscrew this to take out the speaker, which it has no speakerphone anyways! Why! I notice alot of people asking this, why? I can get 600 858x1144 pics with a 128mb card, which is nice. Get a card reader if you want to move pics. The cable is pointless with the software except for doing the address book. You could hold an hour of video, but it only lets you do 10 secs at a time! WHY? With the 128 mb card in it still won't let you use your ring tones unless they are shrunk down to like 50kb, WHY? With the hardware on this phone, it's the software that is killing it. Is there anyone with a recommendation to find programs for this? Help me...(continues)

The software limitations are a serious drawback, I agree. I converted a number of wav files over to SMAF, but you're limited to about 50KB in file size for ringtones in that format. This makes very little sense, as I can load a 100+KB MIDI file as a ring tone.

Maybe it's a limitation of the internal memory of the phone? Perhaps it uses the internal memory to cache video and audio as it's played and that bottlenecks the whole package?

I purchased a 512MB SD card for this phone and haven't had to delete a single picuture yet (although it increases load time when viewing images directly on the phone).
